Things are never easy for the doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, and this week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy is no exception.

And though we’ve only just started this season, this week is also a crossover episode with our pals over at Station 19.

Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) is finally going on a date, courtesy of her matchmaking guru patient, Cece. Though she’s not necessarily optimistic about the scheduled lunch, she is finally putting herself out there, which may upset some loyal McDreamy fans.

Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) is finally going on a date, courtesy of her matchmaking guru patient, Cece, and everyone at the hospital is very excited at the thought

Meredith shows up to the restaurant and meets John (Josh Radnor), a fairly normal guy who has a normal job and a normal life

Soon, John realizes the woman he was actually supposed to be on a date with is talking with the man Meredith was supposed to be on a date with at the bar!

Meredith shows up to the restaurant and meets John (Josh Radnor), a fairly normal guy who has a normal job and a normal life. Wait, so these doctors can date people out of the hospital?! Who knew?!

The two instantly hit it off and seem to be having a great time getting to know one another — until John realizes the woman he was actually supposed to be on a date with is talking with the man Meredith was supposed to be on a date with at the bar!

It begins to feel like it’s all meant to be, that is until John reveals he thinks single moms are ‘desperate’. Wrong move, buddy.

As to be expected, Meredith dumped him right on the spot. On to the next!

Meanwhile, the guys over at Station 19 bring in a few patients from an apartment fire who are in desperate need of surgery

Julius explains to Alex that his insurance will not cover surgery to remove the bleb because it is a pre-existing condition

Alex (Justin Chambers) is still struggling with being the new interim chief of surgery, especially because everyone keeps asking him for everything under the sun

Alex (Justin Chambers) is still struggling with being the new interim chief of surgery, especially because everyone keeps asking him for everything under the sun.

Meanwhile, the guys over at Station 19 bring in a few patients from an apartment fire who are in desperate need of surgery.

One patient in particular, Julius (Caleb Emery), has a pulmonary bleb, which can be deadly if it ruptures. Julius explains his insurance will not cover surgery to remove the bleb because it is a pre-existing condition.

Alex, who is always trying to break the rules, decides to ‘accidentally’ cut Julius and claim he needs emergency surgery. Though it works and Julius survives, it’s clear Alex is willing to do whatever it takes — even if that means committing insurance fraud — to save his patients.

Maggie gets tasked with trying to save a woman named Natalie who was caught in the fire, along with her son, Max

Though Natalie’s still alive, it doesn’t look good and Maggie tells Natalie’s husband, Evan, it’s probably time to say goodbye

Evan doesn’t want to upset Max, who has spent much of the episode hiding from both his dad and the doctors, and decides to not tell him his mother is dying

Meanwhile, Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) is struggling to parent her foster child, Betty (Peyton Kennedy), who is a recovering heroin addict. Amelia, who is a recovering drug addict herself, is convinced Betty is doing drugs.

Betty — like any normal teenager — whines, huffs, and eye-rolls whenever Amelia tries to lay down the law, but she eventually admits she smoked weed with one of her friends. So, like the good pseudo-parent she is, Amelia grounds Betty for a month. Looks like she’s getting the hang of this mom thing!

Jackson (Jesse Williams) is still MIA, which clearly hasn’t been easy for Maggie (Kelly McCreary).

Despite not having the most stable personal life, Maggie gets tasked with trying to save a woman named Natalie who was caught in the fire, along with her son, Max.

Natalie desperately needs heart surgery and Maggie does her best to save her life, but too much damage has already been done.

Though she’s still alive, it doesn’t look good and Maggie tells Natalie’s husband, Evan, it’s probably time to say goodbye.

However, Evan doesn’t want to upset Max, who has spent much of the episode hiding from both his dad and the doctors, and decides to not tell him his mother is dying.

The bad news is Andrew (Giacomo Gianniotti) accidentally tells Max about his mother’s condition, which causes him to run out of the hospital by himself

The bad news is Andrew (Giacomo Gianniotti) accidentally tells Max about his mother’s condition, which causes him to run out of the hospital by himself. Why are doctors always losing patients on this show?

But the big shocker of the episode is when Maggie finally spills to Meredith that Teddy (Kim Raver) is pregnant with Owen’s (Kevin McKidd) baby. And just when things were looking good for Amelia and Owen, too.

It’s probably safe to say we’ll see Teddy make her return in the coming episodes, but what’s going to happen with Amelia and Owen? Only time will tell!
